My experience @ the Mann School By ZeenatBrar XII C (Commerce)

It was 9 years back in September

2008, I joined Mann Public

School, now known as The Mann

School. I was in class IV when I

joined the school as a boarder. I

was quite excited to be in the

School on the first day but it was

when my parents left me, tears rolled down

because I had never stayed alone away from my

sweet mom. I spent a sleepless night. It was still

harder for me in the next day, because all my

classmates knew Hindi and I knew nothing about

Hindi language. But my teachers and seniors

encouraged and supported me to stay on and

slowly and steadily I got used to the system. The

initial fears and loneliness I was able to overcome.

Soon I was appointed as the Vice Head Girl of the

Primary Wing. That was a big shot on my arm.

From then I never turned back. I participated in

many tours and actively took part in co-curricular

and extracurricular activities in and out of the

school. The ninth year I was again appointed as the

Vice Head Girl of the school, which I consider, as

one of the greatest privilege in my student life.

senior Civil Judge cum Rent Controller, Sh. Anurag

'Traffic Laws', etc. This visit enhanced the students'

knowledge and were filled with enthusiasm. Mr. C

P Davis and Ms. Vijayalakshmi accompanied the

students.

The Mann School always looks for ways to expose

its students to various cultures and their

celebrations. This exposures allow them to learn to

embrace diversity.Holi celebration was celebrated with lot of joy and verve in the Mann School. The enthusiasm of the students, teachers and parents reached its peak and matched with the nature in full bounty.

Nine years have passed as if it was like a bubble in

the water. As I realize that I have to achieve and

attain many more things in life, the time has come

to an end and I have to bid farewell to my second

home that's my school. The Mann School is not

only a school rather it is a small world created by

students from different places and culture, where

we communicate, share our feelings, and enjoy our

oneness and togetherness as one family. This is

what I am going to miss in my life.

Being in the Mann School from

last two years, it feels like being in

second home. When I think about

future, it makes me fearful and

nervous that what will happen,

where will I going be. Truly I am

attached to this place more or less ……... so many

special moments lived with the school and house

mates …..….. my class room and friends ……….

Really I miss everything ……... Each day taught

me something …...… the sharing of thoughts, joys

and sorrows, those celebrations …….. They may

come back in my life but the moments lived with

these people can never be repeated.

The latest festival that we celebrated was Lohri,

though the Pre Board was going, being a Punjabi I

could not forget this festival. No matter how my

exam went but we celebrated the festival to the

fullest.

Not only Lohri …. We celebrated almost every

festival with the same feeling of togetherness,

enthusiasm and equality. We learned about the

various rituals and cultures which we had not even
